After explaining the matters concerning the store, Qin Shu turned her attention to Nanny Chun.

Nanny Chun is loyal to my mother, and everyone in Jinzhou who knows my mother knows it.

If Second Aunt wants to take over the power of the Qin Mansion, she must get rid of Nanny Chun, the biggest obstacle. Using her to establish her authority will be the best effect.

Qin Shu pondered and said, "I remember that the youngest son of the nanny was expelled by my mother, and now he is..."

Nanny Chun quickly replied, "I'm working at Gushan Manor."

Qin Shu also remembered, "Ah, yes. Mammy, you haven't seen your grandson for a long time, right? After the funeral of Dad and Mom, Mammy will go back to see them."

As soon as Nanny Chun heard it, she knew what Qin Shu meant: she wanted to send herself away, stay out of the spotlight for a few days, and come back after things in the West Mansion were dealt with.

but……

Nanny Chun frowned and said, "The young lady doesn't have many people around her. Now that the master and his wife are gone, some people in the mansion may not obey her. If I leave..."

"Don't worry, Ma'am. I asked you to go out because I have something for you to do." Qin Shu waved her hand, and after Ma'am Chun came over to her ear, she whispered a few words.

Nanny Chun was stunned, and quickly responded, "Old slave, after seeing off the master and his wife, I will ask for a few days' leave to go back home."

As he spoke, tears fell again.

She shed tears silently for a while, choking up and saying, "Young lady's dowry was carefully prepared by Madam since she was still an infant. Every item is made with Madam's love for her daughter. We still have to let someone take good care of it, and don't let those greedy villains take it away."

Qin Shu raised her head and a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of her lips: Nanny Chun will probably be disappointed. Her dowry has probably been touched since she heard the news of her parents' death this morning.

Actually, it’s better this way. If she doesn’t let them be greedy, how can she continue the show?

But this time, she would no longer let others take it away like she did in her previous life.

Anyone who has taken something from her must return it to her, and anyone who has eaten something from her must spit it out for her!

Speaking of dowry, Qin Shu asked, "Madame Chun, do you know where mother put the dowry list?"

"In the box in my mistress's room."

"Mammy, when you are free, bring me the dowry list."

Nanny Chun responded softly, "Yes."

As they were talking, they suddenly heard Xiao Tao's clear and cheerful voice coming from outside, "Xiao Xing, why are you still guarding outside? Nanny Chun is still in there? Is there anything important you want to discuss with the young lady?"

Qin Shu listened to her voice and her eyes gradually became colder.

Xiao Xing outside said in a cold voice: "Just do whatever the master tells you to do. Whether Nanny Chun is in there or not is not something we servants can ask."

Xiao Tao laughed dryly and said, "You are acting more and more like a maid now. I just asked a few questions and you gave me a lecture. If you didn't know, you would think you were the master."

Madam Liu whispered in Qin Shu's ear, "This little Tao is too restless. Young lady should be on guard against her on weekdays."

Qin Shu smiled coldly: This slut is more than just restless.

She even dared to murder her master.

Qin Shu winked at Nanny Chun.

Nanny Chun understood and quickly picked up the two small boxes on the table, went into the inner room, and hid them in the corner behind the bed.

Outside, Xiao Tao had finished talking to Xiao Xing. She pushed open the door and walked in, smiling, despite Xiao Xing's attempts to stop her.

She walked up to Qin Shu and bowed.

Before she could say anything, Qin Shu suddenly frowned and asked, "Xiao Tao, are you happy?"

Xiao Tao was stunned and asked, "What?"

Qin Shu stared at her face and asked coldly, "Are you happy that the master and his wife have passed away?"

Xiao Tao was stunned for a moment, "I don't have it."

"No? Not as happy as you are?! Someone come!"

Xiao Xing immediately came in with two maids.

Qin Shu was so angry that she was shaking all over and shouted, "Slap him in the face!"

Just as the girl was about to grab Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao immediately jumped up and shouted arrogantly, "Let's see who dares?!"

Qin Shu's eyes were red with hatred. She stood up, slowly walked to Xiao Tao, and sneered, "Oh, it seems that you have someone backing you up now? How can you be so brave?!"

Xiao Tao stiffened her neck and shouted in a loud voice: "Young lady, you are so unreasonable. Xiao Tao has done nothing wrong. Why do you want to hit me for no reason? The master and the mistress just passed away. Young lady, don't you want to take care of the master and the mistress..."

With a crisp "pa" sound, Xiao Tao was slapped hard on the face, which made her stunned.

Qin Shu shook her hurt hand and sneered, "Go on, what can I do for the master and mistress, huh? Tell me, what kind of master and mistress are you talking about?"

What kind of promise did Second Aunt give her that could make this slave girl so arrogant?

Qin Shu glanced at Xiao Tao and said word by word with gritted teeth: "I beat you for no reason? You are a lowly servant, a dog-like thing. I beat you whenever I want. Do I need a reason?"

She snorted coldly, "If you must give a reason...you are nothing but a dog under my feet. A dog that dares to bark at its master, tell me, should it be beaten?!"

Qin Shu looked coldly at the maid standing aside with her neck shrunk like a quail, and said, "Sui'er, go to the front and tell Aunt Chun that I really don't like this slave. Ask her to find a human trafficker to take this bastard away and sell it off!"

Sui'er was trembling with fear and nodded yes.

Xiao Tao was secretly shocked: Could it be that the young lady knew that I had surrendered to the second wife?

So you took this opportunity to punish yourself?

Her eyes rolled around for a while, and she knelt down with a plop, knocking her head loudly, "I was wrong, young lady, I was wrong! Please don't sell me..."

Qin Shu looked at her coldly, indifferent to the blood on her forehead.

Xiao Tao was also betting that her mistress would not sell her out with a bloodied head.

Because she knew that if she left the house like this, her reputation as a young lady would be ruined.

How could Qin Shu not know what Xiaotao was thinking?

Her parents had just passed away, and this unmarried girl actually forced her personal maid to hit her head and break it.

If word of this got out, she would earn a reputation as a harsh person.

Although she doesn't care much about her reputation now, it will be disadvantageous to her if she has such a reputation before she accomplishes what she wants to do.

Qin Shu bent down slightly, pinched Xiao Tao's chin and lifted it up slightly, and sighed: "Look, such a beautiful face, knocked like this, it's really heartbreaking. Others would think I must be very cruel."

Xiao Tao was delighted and showed a proud smile.

Qin Shu had already shaken her chin away and ordered in a cold voice: "Ping'er, you and Sui'er lock Xiao Tao in the back compartment. Since she likes to kowtow so much, find a quiet place for her to kowtow hard. You two watch over her, and don't stop without my order!"

Qin Shu took the handkerchief Xiao Xing handed over and wiped her hands. She looked down at Xiao Tao with a cold smile and said softly, "If you dare to disobey me, or knock too slowly or too softly, I will poison you and make you mute, and sell you to a brothel."

Xiaotao raised her eyebrows.

Before she even opened her mouth, Qin Shu knew she wanted to curse, and immediately raised her finger and said "shush", "If you dare to curse the master's servant, even if you beat him to death, no one will say anything."

Xiao Tao's face turned pale instantly: Is this really the lady whose temper is softer than cotton?

Why do I feel like she has become a different person?

Obviously, she had challenged the young lady before, but the young lady never took it to heart.

Ping'er and Sui'er came over to drag her away, but Xiao Tao quickly broke free and rushed over to hug Qin Shu's legs, begging with a trembling voice: "Miss, I really know I was wrong. I really didn't mean it, Miss..."

Qin Shu was unmoved, looking at Ping'er and Sui'er coldly, "Why don't you drag them away? Do you two also think that without the master and mistress, I can't order you around? Then why not sell you two together!"

The two men shuddered with fear and rushed forward to pick up Xiaotao, who was struggling and crying, and dragged her to the backyard.

Qin Shu rolled her eyes coldly: A bunch of bitches!

If the tiger doesn't show off its power, does it really think she is a sick cat?
